The Katoch–Sikh war was fought in 1801 by the Sikh forces led by Maharaja Ranjit Singh and the Katoch forces by Raja Sansar Chand Katoch.
Raja Sansar Chand had begun to enter Sada Kaur's territory.[1][2] He was planning to further advance into Sada Kaur's territories.[3][4] Sansar Chand had extended his authority to Bajwara.[5] The Maharaja led an army of 6,000 horsemen into Kangra and drove Sansar Chand away with the help of Fateh Singh Ahluwalia.[4][6][7]
Sansar Chand again sought help from Maharaja Ranjit Singh in 1809 while being attacked by Amar Singh Thapa which led to Nepal–Sikh war.[8]
